The SureLead Disposable Cable System is intended to be used with ECG monitoring devices. The SureLead Disposable Cable System is used to connect electrodes, catheters, and/or sensors placed at appropriate sites on the patient to a monitoring device for generating monitoring and/or diagnostic evaluation by a health care professional.
The SureLead Disposable Cable System with specific various lengths are the replacements for similar cables manufactured by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and other third-party after-market manufacturers for their respective monitors. These cables consist of connectors on each cable end and a shielded bulk cable. These cables are used to transfer the signals from the electrodes to the patient monitor. The SureLead Disposable Cable System uses the same type of construction and have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. The SureLead Disposable Cable System is made of medical grade PVC and PP cable jacket with medical grade PVC and PP over molded connectors with integral relief.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device (SureLead Disposable Cable System), seeking to prove substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It addresses the device's design, materials, and intended use, but it does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to AI/algorithm performance, human reader improvement, or complex clinical outcome data from a test set in the way you've described.
This document describes a medical device that is a physical patient accessory (cables), not an AI/software as a medical device (SaMD) or a diagnostic imaging system with an AI component. Therefore, the detailed questions about acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample size for test sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and training set details are not applicable to the content of this document.
The "Performance Data" section (page 4) refers to non-clinical tests conducted to verify compliance with electrical safety, biocompatibility, and general medical device standards (e.g., ISO 10993, AAMI/ANSI EC53, IEC 60601-1). These are laboratory and bench testing standards, not clinical studies involving patient data read by experts for diagnostic or prognostic purposes, nor do they involve AI models.
Here's a breakdown of why your specific questions cannot be answered by this document:
- 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document lists standards (e.g., ISO 10993, AAMI/ANSI EC53, IEC 60601-1) that the device complies with, implying these are the "acceptance criteria" for a physical device. However, it does not provide quantitative performance metrics against these criteria (e.g., specific impedance values, biocompatibility scores). It merely states that "The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards."
- 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to the physical cables undergoing engineering and biocompatibility testing, not a dataset of patient images or clinical records.
- 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a physical cable involves engineering specifications and standard test methods (e.g., resistance, current leakage, material composition).
- 4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No. This is not an imaging or diagnostic device that relies on human interpretation aided by AI.
- 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as there is no algorithm or AI component.
- 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): The "ground truth" for this device would be its physical and electrical properties conforming to established engineering and safety standards.
- 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI model to train.
- 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document describes a traditional medical device (patient cables) and its regulatory submission for substantial equivalence based on engineering and biocompatibility testing, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.

Dear Ricky Souza:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

The Subject Device and the Predicate Device are substantially equivalent. The minor differences are:
Analysis (2) The minimum SureLead Cable System (Subject Device) has a shorter minimum cable length and a shorter maximum cable length. These differences are negligible.
Analysis (3) The material of proposed device is different from predicate device. However, the biocompatibility for proposed device has been evaluated and the test result conform with requirements of ISO 10993 standards. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Analysis (4) The patient end termination type of proposed device is Clip while that of predicated device is Clip or snap, yet the electric performance and safety for proposed device has been tested per IEC 60601-1 and EC 53 and the test result is acceptable. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence.
Analysis (5) The subject device is available in 3, 5 ,6 leadwire type, while the leadwire number for predicate device is unknown and the substantially equivalence cannot be determined. However, the electric performance and safety for proposed device has been tested per IEC 60601-1 and EC 53 and the test result is acceptable. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence.
CONCLUSION
The Intended Use and Indications for Use of the SureLead Disposable Cable System (subject device) and the Predicate Device, Cable / Lead-wire (Premarket Notification K170536) are substantially equivalent. The technological characteristics, components and materials used for the Predicate Device and the Subject Device are the same. The Subject Device, SureLead Disposable Cable System is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device, Cable / Lead-wire (Premarket Notification K170536), a legally marketed device.
